She was a queen who spoke for children abused by the Catholic Church and she was shunned for it. She told the truth when others didn’t want to hear. Rest in peace.
I don't know nearly enough about music to answer well. I just can hear the elements that seem to contribute to what your describing: the lilt of her voice, the rapid beat, and the other sort of warped dissonant sound. I like the song
I see TMBG. I upvote. I get TMBG in my head for the rest of the day and I’m happy.
I could listen to most of their songs on a long repeat, so my praise of this one(which slaps) is probably not worth much. But this is a really catchy track and fun video. :-)
My pick for this category is another collab: at this point it's practically become a meme among music blogs, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWc4wMyL1oI, specifically for what happens once Prince takes the stage at ~3:30 and turns it into something unforgettable. (That guitar is not weeping gently!)
That was pretty good! And I like how at times they looked liked they were about to start laughing as Prince was stealing the show on a stage with already some very very famous musicians (but not that he could help it, I think that's just what usually happened whenever Prince appeared, well- anywhere).
My problem with this is that no song or album could live up the epicness that is the thumbnail for the link.
Like, maybe, if Ronnie James Dio teamed up with Christopher Lee, brought on Cliff Burton on bass, Hendrix on guitar, and John Bonham on drums, maybe they could match the glory this image promises. Maybe.
As a long-time fan of Justin Bieber, I am thrilled to hear about his and Hailey's pregnancy announcement! It's heartwarming to see them share this beautiful moment with their fans. I can't wait to follow their journey as they embark on this new chapter in their lives. Congratulations, Biebers!
That’s one of those songs that is difficult to deal with.
But, as much of a dick as Lennon was, the song isn’t wrong. And I can’t say I disagree with the choice to go with that phrase and title, even with decades of change in the world between then and now. It makes it impossible to even hear about the song without having to wrestle with the concept internally.
When something makes you confront your own thinking and process ideas to even address it, that’s a powerful piece of art. And the choice of wording really does force you to think about the role of women, and that of black people, and consider that juxtaposition. Well, unless you knee-jerk and don’t think about it at all.
I just wish the song itself was a little better. It’s mid tier for Lennon, at best. It comes off as a bit preachy rather than being an expression of thought and emotion. To me, anyway. A little too forced. He could do better.
"Woman Is the Nigger of the World" is a song by John Lennon and Yoko Ono with Elephant's Memory from their 1972 album Some Time in New York City. The song was produced by Lennon, Ono and Phil Spector. Released as the only single from the album in the United States, the song sparked controversy at the time due to the use of the word nigger in the title, and many radio stations refused to play the song as a result.
